Low-Carb Manakeesh
These low-carb Manakeesh are so easy to make and only take a few minutes to cook. I used carb balance tortillas to make these delicious Levantine flat breads, but, any tortillas would work just as wonderfully.

Prepare the za’atar spread by combining the za’atar spice blend with a ¼ cup of olive oil in a small bowl. Soak the akawi cheese for at least 30 minutes before using to remove some of the saltiness. Pat it dry with a paper towel, and shred it. Combine the shredded akawi with some shredded mozzarella cheese and set aside.

Spread about two tablespoons of the za’atar spread over the tortilla and fold in half. For the cheese manoushe, spread about ½ cup of the cheese mix over the tortilla and fold in half.For my personal favorite, the half-cheese and half-za’atar manoushe, add ¼ cup of the cheese mixture on one side and about two tablespoons of the za’atar spread on the other side and fold over the za’atar side over the cheese side.

Add a drizzle of olive oil or non-stick spray on a large skillet or griddler. Cook the tortilla manoushe over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
